Taktsang, also known as Taktsang Palphug Monastery and Tiger's Nest or Tiger’s Lair is a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site located along the edge of a cliff in the upper Paro Valley in Paro, Bhutan in the Eastern Himalayas. The monastery clings to the rock towering 2,600 feet above the valley and 9,678 feet above sea level.
I was sure glad when I finished my hike up to Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest) and then back to the start of the trail, but I now wish I could do it again and beat my time. I know, from the time on the photos, that it took me an hour and 50 minutes from the start of the trail to the half way point, Taktsang Restaurant, where we regrouped before starting out again. I did stop a lot to take pictures and probably spent more time than I should have at one location because a fellow Sierra Club member said, “Ginger, we’ve got to get going. Others are probably waiting for us at the restaurant”.
Along the way I ate beef jerky and drank lots of water. I carried two 32 oz, bottles of water. The night before I added a lemon-lime Nuun electrolyte tablet to one of the bottles --- had never taken electrolytes before, but a friend recommended doing so. Anyway, this is what I learned: Nuun electrolyte tablets contain sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium which aid in the absorption of water to keep you hydrated. I sure didn’t have a problem hiking up so I guess it worked!
At the restaurant we were greeted by our Sierra Club trip leader who surprised us with a piece of chocolate! I’m not a chocolate eater, but that was sooooo good. We were then served crackers and tea. From the restaurant to the top was another hour and 50 minutes --- again I know this from the time on the photos I took, and I sure took a lot of photos. When I was close to the top I had finished the 32 ounces of water+ electrolytes so I took out another tablet and dropped it into the second bottle of 32 ounces of water.
No photos were allowed in the monastery. In fact, we had to put all of our belongings into lockers, and of course, we had to remove our shoes. We had been removing our shoes daily as we entered monasteries, dzongs, lhakhangs, and Butanese homes. Since I knew this ahead of time I took some older socks that I could put on once I removed my shoes in order to keep the bottoms of my good socks clean.
After our tour of the monastery we headed down to the restaurant for our meal. The only thing I didn’t like in the monastery was the burning incense. It’s pretty prevalent throughout Bhutan in places of worship. For me, it was difficult to breathe so I didn’t stay inside the rooms of the monastery very long. I didn’t take many pictures on the way down so I don’t know the time it took for me to get to the restaurant or to return from the restaurant to the start of the trail.
It probably took a little less time than going up. At one point I stopped to take off my vest. That put a little distance between me and others. I even saw people pass me by as I was putting my vest into my backpack and then putting on my backpack. Later I stopped to get my knee support out of my backpack and put it on. That took longer, but it was very necessary. My knee was killing me each time I bent it. It was soooo painful. Now I was really alone on the trail. I didn’t see any one in front of me or behind me.
For me, it was more difficult going down, especially over rocks because no one was in front of me. It’s much easier for me to follow in the steps of an experienced hiker when going over rocks or when there isn’t a set trail.
And then . . . a third . . . and last stop. Because there were lots of horses going up the trail I had to wait for them. There were too many horses and not enough room to pass. The horses even stopped to drink water from the trough and I couldn’t go around them. Now there was lots of distance between me and the others.
Well, that’s what happens when you make stops! I thought I was going to be the last to return, but once I reached the others I learned there was one more behind me!
We were a group of 17 Los Angeles and Orange County Sierra Club members. Two members did not attempt the Taktsang Monastery hike due to leg and knee problems. One of the 15 who started out in the morning with us rode a horse from the trail head to the restaurant. That’s as far as the horses could go. Once everyone had tea, crackers, and a rest at the restaurant we headed up, kind of staggered, each going at his/her own pace. The plan was to re-group at the top and enter the monastery together with our guide.
About 30 minutes after leaving the restaurant, as I was going up, I was surprised to see the person who had been on horseback coming down. She said she wasn’t feeling well at all, sick to her stomach and dizzy (probably due to the high altitude) so she decided to return to the restaurant and wait for us there.

My body does not absorb B12.
The part of your intestine that absorbs it is the one part of my intestine that has active Crohn's.
So every three months I get an injection with one of these ampules of Neo B12.
I am off to the specialist tomorrow, so I picked these up today.
And being cute like they are, I couldn't resist a photo.

Wetlands are biodiversity rich sensitive ecosystems that harbor hundreds of plants, insects, birds and other animals uniquely adapted to their wetland mode of life.They are crucial to maintain the regional water balance through ground water recharge and absorption of flood waters and also serve as the rice bowl of developing countries. Nevertheless, wetlands play immense role in the socio-economic and livelihood aspects of local communities living around the wetland. In India, rural communities depend wetland for livelihood through farming, mat making etc; for food through fishing and hunting; for roof thatching by collection of reeds and palm leaf ; for firewood; for fodder etc. However, these wetlands are now under a threat of conversion for big industrial and real estate projects, change in lifestyle of local community, over extraction of resources by increased population, pollution,waste dumping, eutrophication and pesticide farming. There are three important wetlands in the Puducherry region namely Oussudu, Bahour and Kaliveli that provide important resources for local communities and also are a home to tens of thousands of migratory birds that visit the Puducherry region in winter. These wetlands have been acknowledged as Important Bird Areas(IBAs) by IBCN, since many of these birds are represented in more than 1% of their global population.
The recent threat on wetlands of Puducherry is more due to the change in life style of local community living around these wetlands. The younger generation is not much dependent on wetland resources, The younger and modern generation has lost the compassion and bonding to the wetland which their forefathers maintained through sustainable livelihood practices. This has resulted in a change in attitude and perception of the community towards unsustainable farming and resource extraction, game hunting, intensive fishing and reclamation, ultimately resulting in shrinking of wetland area and loss of biodiversity at an alarming pace. Local community is leaving the traditional farming practices for more fertilizer and pesticide based farming; fish stock is depleted using invasive Gill nets. Since Puducherry is fast developing region with rapidly growing commercial tourism and industrial establishments, these wetlands are under the threat of reclamation for resort construction and other commercial establishments. Poaching for a sport as well as open selling of birds including the threatened species is common. School drop-out are noticed to get attracted to such practices to make easy money as well as hunting for a sport with peers. With time, they may grow into expert hunters who will depend on poaching as the main source of income for the family. There are many wetland awareness programs organized by Forest Department as well as NGOs targeting school kids and educated community through workshops. School drop-outs are often not specially targeted by any of such programs and often not brought under the ambit of such programs. This gap needs to be addressed for local conservation efforts to be fully effective. We have chosen birds as the umbrella species whose conservation will in turn protect the lake and biodiversity as a whole. Birds are attractive and beautiful; ,which may easily get compassion from drop-out kids if guided appropriately. With proper efforts, the poachers can be turned to protectors and expert tour guides to facilitate ecotourism.

My Hydrogen Absoprtion Spectrum model showing the Balmer series on ACS Island. Part of my (and one of my student's) atomic orbitals exhibit we're working on.
I have realised that the transmission of a Cokin BLUE 80B photo-filter applied to the solar (outside the atmosphere) energy flux spectrum provides a remarkably good analogue for the colour of the twilight sky within the visible part of the spectrum.
The plot shows a measurement of the twilight sky with a solar elevation of -8° (green line) compared with the Cokin-filtered intrinsic solar spectral energy distribution (blue line). The filter thus represents the the effect of the long atmospheric path taken by sunlight during twilight (The Blue Hour).
There are differences in detail: the analogue is brighter than twilight in the far red (beyond about 680nm) and also peaks at a shorter wavelength in the blue, but is does provide a rather realistic twilight blue.
The riboflavin fluorescence spectrum (red line) is of interest for animal vision but is incidental to this this post.
Note: The slight wavelength shift between the two solar spectra is understood: I resampled the solar flux spectrum onto the original JAZ wavelength vector before I applied my calibration correction. This small difference is not important for this plot.
I have this weird absorption with taking pictures of flowers from "behind" or "underneath" but I never get just the picture I wanted. Oh, well. Too much sunlight, is what you see there. Poor us!
I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day, too.

A Fomapan Action 400 black-and-white film to test the effect a the special Foca filter "Dyma" produced in France in the 50's.
The filter is called "Dyma" due to the presence of neodymium in the glass giving an unusual absorption by bands in the visible spectrum. In particulier blue and yellow color ans more absorbed than the rest of the spectrum. The filter existed in two different versions with the coefficient x2.5 or 3.5. Here the 42mm push-on Foca Dyma filter used is a x 3.5.
As a consequence, I exposed the Foma 400 for 80 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. I used my FOCA camera PF2B year 1956 and its normal Oplar lens1:2.8 f=5cm equipped for all the views with the Dyma filter and a Genaco metal shade hood.
Typical settings during the session : 1/100s f/8 to f/11.

France
After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 6 min.
The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.
About the camera and the lens:
The Foca type PF2B (PF for "Petit Format") was constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) starting from 1947. It was manufactured in the Chateaudun OPL factory, route de Jallans, France, in 1956 among a late series of the PF2B. The factory, constructed in 1938, is still at the same place under the name of SAFRAN now producing precision devices for aerospace appliances.
The camera is equipped with the collapsible OPLAR lens (a Tessar formula) 1:2.8 f=5cm. The focal shutter of the PF2B has timing of 1/1000, 1/500, 1/200, 1/100, 1/50 and 1/25s plus the B pose. A slow exposure device below 1/25s could be installed by the aftermarket service and was installed basically for the FOCA PF3 and Foca Universel.
This light-sand coloured translucent agate has a transmission depth of 4mm. The green fluorescence (green line) is due to uranyl.
Agate is a form of chalcedony, a microcrystalline quarts (SiO2). It usually contains about 1% of water. In this sample, the 4mm depth of the transmission path contains about 47µm depth of liquid water which corresponds to 0.44% water by mass.

Orlistat is a drug used to treat obesity, and it works in the digestive system to prevent the digestion and absorption of approximately one-third of the fat contained in the food you eat. These undigested fats cannot be absorbed and are excreted by the body with feces. Orlistat is used in the treatment of obesity in conjunction with a low-calorie diet.

Fire under glass
In the blackest of nights
The Reaper walks freely
Through the minds dimming light
Fear of the Reaper
When your soul is awake
You fight against sleep
And the dreams it will take
Absorbed by the darkness
Worshiping together in rooms
Souls huddled together
In the blackness that looms
Hope springs eternal
While the light can be seen
But only in death
Will you know what that means
The End?
